Lake Superior State completed a two-game sweep over the Alaska Nanooks with a 4-2 CCHA win at Taffy Abel Arena Saturday night.

The Lakers (15-16-1 overall, 10-13-1 CCHA) improved to 12-5 at home this season, and moved up one spot to seventh in the league standings with 32 points. Alaska (13-13-4 overall, 11-12-3-1 CCHA) is in sixth place with 37 points.

"It was a really good weekend," Laker coach Jim Roque said. "Our fourth line gave us some great minutes, our penalty kill was excellent. Our lines are back in shape now. Other than our power play not being very good, everything went well."

Bruneteau scored what proved to be the game-winner, giving the Lakers a 3-1 lead six minutes into the third period, with Perfetto drawing an assist. It was the second goal of the season for Bruneteau, who also collected assists both nights and earned No. 1 star honors Saturday.

"Our goalies played great and it's nice to always have two guys like that who you can rely on," Bruneteau said. "As a defensive corps, we put the blame on ourselves whenever the puck goes in the net. I thought we had a good weekend as a group, working from the defensive zone out.

"We just have try to hit our stride the next couple weeks," Bruneteau said. "You never know what's going to happen in the playoffs. Look at what Bowling Green did last year."

The Nanooks drew within 3-2 on Nolan Huysmans' goal at 9:31 of the third. But Perfetto scored an empty-net goal to complete the scoring.

Cody Kunyk also had a goal for the Nanooks, and Steve Thompson made 24 saves.

The Lakers play host to the CCHA leading Miami RedHawks next weekend, Feb. 22-23, in the final regular season home series.

"We're still trying to catch Alaska and Ferris," Roque said. "The first step is to take care of home ice. We have a big test coming up with Miami."

Neither team had much success on the power play. The Lakers limited Alaska to 1-for-7 on the power play Saturday and 1-for-14 in the series. The Lakers were 0-for-3 with the man advantage Saturday and 0-for-9 over the weekend.
